    My guess is because YouTube feels niche, mainly on new uploaders.

    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    The Roamer was quite the durable SUV, even when both front wheels were cambered awkwardly, with its front right suspension having just given out. Still, even after being damaged around 8 laps, it did quite impressively even after going out with overheating damage.

    Results: Gavril Roamer - Lap 8 (14.6 miles) - Overheating



    Cause of Failure: Driveshaft

    While the original Miramar from FailRace's Endurodrome lasted much longer before going out with steering and overheating, the Street Tuned version was unable to make it any further than that. The speed bump completely destroyed the driveshaft on the third lap, thus cutting its run fairly short as a result.

    Results: Miramar Street Tuned - Lap 3 (4.0 miles) - Driveshaft



    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    Not all modified vehicles can handle the Endurodrome, and the Hopper Custom is no exception. With repeated rollovers particularly from the downhill section of the track, which took out the radiator altogether. After much struggle along with extensive bodywork damage, the Hopper Custom has had it.

    Results: Hopper Custom - Lap 4 (7.0 miles) - Overheating

    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle

    The Covet Rally did better than the two other Covet variants, though the Rally version wasn't able to last for long. Aside the fact that the radiator was damaged from the speed bump, the real issue is that it began a series of rollovers, which all began from launching through the rock pit that caused extensive damage. And another rollover fromt he downhill section detached the hood, but it didn't really detach; it was practically dangling on about. And on the third lap... well, you'd thought it'd go down with overheating. You'd be right, except the wheel axle damage basically finished the job altogether.

    Results: Covet Rally - Lap 3 (4.8 miles) - Wheel Axle



    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    The Sunburst Hatchback, despite it literally breaking apart throughout the Endurodrome, it endured fairly well before it succumbed to overheating. If it had kept going, it would've eventually went down with a broken wheel axle.

    Results: Sunburst Hatchback - Lap 3 (4.3 miles) - Overheating



    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    The Vanster was, to put it simply, literally falling apart, and on the first lap too. The jump from the shed nearly tore the bodywork clean off. And on the second lap when its rear suspension gave out, the wheel snapped off. But that's not what killed the Vanster. The overheating did itself in.

    Results: H-Series 70's Vanster - Lap 2 (3.2 miles) - Overheating

    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle x2

    Well, this car was a tough vehicle to handle, and aside from the usual loss of control on the first lap, including crashing into the shed that took out the radiator, the jump pretty much tore both front wheels away, cutting its run awfully short.

    Results: 200BX "Demon - Lap 1 (1.6 miles) - Wheel Axle x2



    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    Despite the Stowaway showing potential, the hard landing from a rock jump sadly took out the radiator on the first lap. While it did good on the next two laps, the temperature reached at max and ended the Stowaway's run fairly early.

    Results: Kessler Stowaway - Lap 3 (4.9 miles) - Overheating



    Cause of Failure: Steering

    I'll admit, the TS67, despite being obviously open wheel, fared pretty well int he Endurodrome. Though around the third lap, the front left was not steering at all anymore, and after pulling the car free from the trees, the steering basically gave out altogether. The front right steering still working, though the left side was completely locked, rendering the open-wheeled car useless.

    Results: TS67 - Lap 3 (5.1 miles) - Steering

    (Note that two our of three videos seem to have framerate issues for unclear reasons. It could be an issue regarding OBS but again, there's absolutely nothing I can do about the OBS having framerate issues, as even fixes will not stop it from causing problems.)



    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle

    The Civetta Bolide, while a fancy sports car, did not went well on the very first lap, especially due to a lack of grip around the dirt, and the rock pit basically took out the rear right tire, worsening its handling. As if the Bolide's day couldn't get any worse, I had no control in trying to position for the jump and got snagged by a small tree, not only yanking the bodywork, but also causing the wheel axle to snap off, ending its run awfully early.

    Results: Civetta Bolide - Lap 1 (1.5 miles) - Wheel Axle



    Cause of Failure: Driveshaft

    So right at the start, the camper had started to flex and fold throughout the race, and the rock jump, well... it was quite a spectacular one. But sadly, the speed bump took out both driveshaft at the same time before it could even make a second lap.

    Result: H-Series Camper Van - Lap 1 (1.7 miles) - Driveshaft



    Cause of Failure: Steering + Chassis

    While it endured quite well, the steering was showing signs of obvious damage over time, and it kept steering itself to the right with each impact from repeated landings. And after lap five, the chassis seems to have give way coupled with steering failure, meaning the truck was unable to deliver any power or steering whatsoever. I thought it'd be suspension failure, though it seems chassis failure played a role. You decide.

    Results: Satsuma 210 1000 Pickup SWB - Lap 5 (9.0 miles) - Steering + Chassis

    (I apologize for the lengthy absence, and that bumping the thread is frowned upon. The reason for my absence is that OBS wasn't working properly because my PC was having problems which led to me to perform System Recovery. OBS should be working as intended now.)



    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle

    The Pessima did decently around three laps of the Endurodrome, though an awkward landing on the third lap caused the wheel axle to snap off, ending its run quite early despite showing potential. And the hard landing from the jump after the axle broke off took out the radiator, but even then, the Pessima just couldn't go any further than that.

    (Also video is laggy because of framerate issues, just a quick note.)

    Results: Ibishu Pessima - Lap 3 (4.0 miles) - Wheel Axle



    Cause of Failure: Intershaft

    Well, the State Prison wound up a similar fate from the School Bus, only instead, the frontal impact from a jump basically took the intershaft out of the game. And poor Stig was just not having his day either, especially when the prison bus was quick to fall apart quite as early as the first lap.

    Results: C1500 State Prison - Lap 1 (2.2 miles) - Intershaft



    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle x2

    It seems the Sunburst is known for breaking apart quite easily like the ETK cars, and the Rally version's run had cut short. Really short that from landing sideways completely destroys both wheel axles; one that was torn clean off, the other snapped and power can't be delivered at all. A real shame that it went out far too early, all because of that one landing that basically ended it all.

    Results: Sunburst Rally - Lap 1 (1737.3 yards) - WHeel Axle x2

    (There are some laggy bits in the first two videos so I apologize in advance. Blame OBS for the constant lag issues.)



    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle

    The LeGran gradually fell apart, mainly from the rock pit as the front wheels began to camber down. And the loss of my control over the car basically tore the front left fender from the concrete barrier, which, in return, snapped off the front left wheel axle, ending its run fairly early.

    Results: LeGran Custom - Lap 2 (2.3 miles) - Wheel Axle



    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    If the Bolide is a tedious car to handle, the Civettaline is no exception. I had absolutely no control over the first lap, with repeated hard landings taking out the radiator, followed by the rear right wheel being dislodged from the speed bump, further worsening its handling. Thought he wheel axle broke off from the mud pit, the overheating did itself in.

    Results: Civettalina - Lap 2 (3.0 miles) - Overheating

    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    A new addition of the Endurodrome, the Voleka, performed rather decently around the track, though was sowly succumbing to overheating from a hard landing at the first lap. And on the second lap, the Voleka did a 360 spin on the jump, even though steering was quite off. It soon came to a crashing halt on the third lap on the rock jump once the temperature reached at max. Dead Voleka in the end.

    Results: Ibishu Voleka - Lap 3 (5.0 miles) - Overheating



    Cause of Failure: Wheel Axle

    The hatchback version of the Pessima didn't do quite well than the regular version. At the second lap, the rock pit basically snapped off the wheel axle, causing it to not deliver any kind of power. And when I tried to steer, the left wheel seems to push back or bow itself down. Quite an early end for the Pessima hatchback.

    Results: Pessima Hatchback - Lap 2 (2.8 miles) - Wheel Axle



    Cause of Failure: Driveshaft

    This luxury car had the potential around the Endurodrome, though could only do two laps before the speed bump killed the driveshaft. And this was the result of the front left tire being burst from clipping through a concrete barrier, and the trunk was basically torn cleanly. Overall, the ETK W's run met its early end at the Endurodrome.

    Results: ETK W - Lap 2 (3.8 miles) - Driveshaft

    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    At the very first lap from my usual lack of proper control from the jump, the car basically struggled with steering from the earlier jump. And throughout the race, it was becoming more and more difficult to control the Moonhawk, especially by going off-track. Eventually, it wasn't the steering that killed it, even though it did earlier at the first lap, but rather, overheating that ended its suffering altogether.

    Results: Moonhawk Derby - Lap 3 (5.2 miles) - Overheating



    Cause of Failure: Engine

    The T-Series, the 1987 version of the original T-Series, fared decently in the Endurodrome, though had trouble navigating around chicane speedbumps on the next two laps. On the fourth lap, the radiator was damaged from a hard landing and a rough landing onto the rocks from a jump basically killed the engine altogether in the end.

    Results: '87 T-Series - Lap 4 (7.4 miles) - Engine



    Cause of Failure: Overheating

    The D15 Bandito, despite being on the receiving end, fared pretty well around the Endurodrome. Of course, its wheel was torn away from the jump and took out the radiator at the same time so it was essentially driving on just three wheels. It was still drivable for the second lap, though because overheating was an issue, it eventually ceased to function once the temperature became too much for the Bandito to handle.

    Results: D15 Bandito - Lap 2 (5.1 miles) - Overheating
